What about making the tasks limited to a single list?
- No more headings
- Guaranteed to be hierarchical
- All non leaf nodes are "categories" or "projects"
Potentially the list items could be consistently on two lines
- An example task description
after:2020-01-01by:2020-02-01repeat:every1monthcreated:2020-01-01- Children could be notes attached to the parent
- Child tasks could also be allowable
- A parent without a task is a heading
- So maybe not all non leafs are tasks
- How much additional info could we realistically have on a node?
- Is this a concern to be worth contemplation?
- So maybe not all non leafs are tasks
- Work
- Immediate
- Do something
- Do something else
- Big project
- Make a plan
- Next big project
- Immediate
We could potentially automatically add a "define next action" task to the "Next big project" item above.
- What would a filtered list look like?
- How would we distinguish between "empty" nodes and nodes whose tasks have been filtered out?
- Maybe by only running the "next action" job on the whole source file.
